Located in the Little India area, just a short walk from Farrer Park MRT station, PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road may seem like an unconventional place for Chinese New Year meals. Unknown to many, the hotel’s two signature restaurants, Spice Brasserie and Si Chuan Dou Hua, both offer a slew of exciting CNY delights, all at a great value in a 4-star hotel setting.
For this year’s CNY offerings, Spice Brasserie presents a buffet line-up of festive local and Peranakan dishes, while Si Chuan Dou Hua presents a slew of fine dining, traditional Chinese dishes.
For seafood lovers, the Seafood Fare buffet spread at Spice Brasserie offers great value for money, with prices starting from just S$59++ per pax – a steal for those familiar with seafood prices in Singapore. You get unlimited free-flow mud crabs, cooked in different styles, as well as mussels, fresh Japanese sashimi, prawns, lobsters and more.
Check out the buffet offering below. We counted at least four different styles of crab dishes. Note that the items on the buffet line may vary on different days, but will largely be consistent with what is presented here in terms of variety.
Auspicious Seafood Fare at Spice Brasserie
At Spice Brasserie, the arrival of spring heralds a celebratory buffet spread of Nonya fare such as Live Prawn Assam Pedas, Steamed Seabass Fillet with Nonya Sauce and Peranakan Chicken Buah Keluak. These are served up alongside the restaurant’s hallmark seafood dishes including Spring Onion Steamed Crab, Crispy Fried Sotong with Sweet & Spicy Tamarind Sauce, Crispy Oyster with Teriyaki and Limpet Abalone Congee.
Fans of Spice Brasserie’s popular seafood buffet will also be delighted with the Chinese New Year buffet’s live-station offerings that will include freshly-cooked Pumpkin Cuba Lobster simmered in a hot claypot.
Diners booked-in for dinner on 15, 16 and 17 February, priced at $88++, will also be endowed with a Lucky Fortune Set comprising five prosperity-enhancing platters (one set per table). Beginning with the ever-auspicious Salmon Yu Sheng, this tempting set further includes festive specialties brimming with premium delicacies: Braised Abalone with Duck Feet, Braised Sea Cucumber with Roast Pork, Baked Sea Scallop with Mushroom Cheese and Peranakan-style Nanas Lemak Cuba Lobster.
Check out the five dishes as below. This is a real steal for value:
